Just some of the many pages of scrawled notes for the book. Every time something springs to mind I write it down in my notebook. If I’m driving I use voice notes to my phone. It’s amazing when you spend a few minutes looking back exactly what springs to mind. There’s so much locked away and then something reminds you of something else and so it goes on. #writing #author #book #truestory #lifestory #autobiography #Autobiographical #Thoughts #ideas
